STOCK TRANSFER INFORMATION
Please click here for details to learn how you can make a stock transfer to the Diocese of Orlando or any of its parishes or entities. Gifts are considered complete when received in the Diocesan brokerage account. Our policy is to immediately liquidate stock gifts upon receipt in the brokerage account to ensure your gift benefits the parish or other entity as soon as possible. Your gift will be acknowledged by letter after receipt.
GIFTS OF STOCK OR APPRECIATED SECURITIES
Gifts of appreciated securities, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, offer an easy and tax-smart way to support the work of our Church.
In most cases you will be able to avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation, and you may be able to obtain a charitable deduction for the full market value of the gift, which could be significantly greater than the initial cost.
